MOTHERS OF THE NEW DEAL
This year marks the 90th anniversary of the New Deal. Between 1933 and 1942 the New Dealers transformed America, creating jobs and giving hope to millions of struggling Americans during the Great Depression. First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, Labor Secretary and worker-rights advocate Frances Perkins, political activist Molly Dewson, Federal Theater Director Hallie Flanagan and FDR Advisor Mary McLeod Bethune were among the women of the New Deal who played an instrumental role ([link removed]) changing everyday people’s lives for the better.

Our mothers, grandmothers and great-grandmothers knew the hardships of the Depression first hand. They scrimped, mended and nurtured through the hardest of times. This Mother’s Day, please consider honoring the women in your life with a gift to the Living New Deal. We’re documenting—and celebrating— what the New Deal left to America by passing on the spirit of possibility and resilience the New Deal fostered. We are grateful for your support ([link removed]) .

“There is nothing more exciting than building a new social order.”
— Eleanor Roosevelt
